For many parents, watching their son or daughter–the first in their families to attend college–walk through Dillard University’s Avenue of the Oaks to receive their hard-earned degree is a dream come true.

For its faculty, Dillard offers an opportunity not only to provide a quality education, share knowledge and instill in students an eagerness to learn, but also to prepare them to navigate confidently and successfully through an increasingly complex and competitive global society.

For a diverse group of young men and women, Dillard opens doors that, in many cases, had been closed to their parents and grandparents. Dillard is preparing them for world-class graduate schools and outstanding careers in medicine and nursing, law and social justice, business and government, education and research, and entertainment and the arts. They are being groomed for leadership roles and for giving back to their communities, their states, their nation and the world.

For numerous alumni, Dillard was an “avenue of opportunity.” It set them firmly on the path to professional success, personal achievement and leadership in a wide array of fields. Please show your confidence in Dillard and help set others on that same path to success!

You can assist us in providing the best resources for our current and future Dillard students.
